A commodity appears at ordsprog

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

Karl Marx mamma (1818-1883)

He's an extremely complete player, but the one thing he brings is an offensive flavor to our attack. I think that is the one thing that has made him such an instant success here in Odessa.

It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)

Raymond Chandler

I learned long ago never to say the obvious thing, but leave the obvious thing to commonplace and inexperienced people to say

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Relieved is a strange thing to say - you really don't feel that. It kind of brings everything back. It's a different kind of grieving.

It is a common error to suppose that the Higher Life is a matter of reading, and the adoption of theological or metaphysical hypotheses, and that Spiritual Principles can be apprehended by this method.

James Allen (1864-1942)

James Allen

Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

This guy has been swinging at strikes and taking balls. That's been the most impressive thing he's done at the plate. The obvious thing was the home run, but he moves really well in the outfield.

To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Simone Weil

Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.

Auguste Comte (1798-)

Auguste Comte

Don't be too clever for an audience. Make it obvious. Make the subtleties obvious also.

Billy Wilder (1906-2002)

Billy Wilder

Strange, very strange. A lot of new faces over there. I'm looking around at the guys like, 'Who is that?' The main thing is I didn't see anyone wearing (No.) 42, so I'm happy about that.

What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman. Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability. What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.

Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Lord Byron

Making ethanol from corn is a good thing if you want to offset fossil fuels from overseas. On the greenhouse gas side of things, it is not clear if corn, as grown today, is a good thing. We just don't know yet, but it appears to be a mildly good thing.

I thought that was a very unselfish leader thing to do. That's the kind of thing that brings you together as a team.
